MELVILL, Secretary, TO THE PROPRIETO;;S OF EAST INDIA STOCK. LADIES ANT, GENTLEMEN', WHEN I had the honour w address you in July, 1836, I declared to you my determination to proceed to the _Ballot upon the first vacancy which might occur in the East India Direction ; and however confident I may be in the propriety of the step I am now about to take, I feel that some expl Illation is due to you for the temporary abandonment of my former views and intentions. I, therefore, frankly avow to you that, although my supporters arc unusully numerous and powerful, yet I believe that the result of a contest with Sir Henry Willoek would be doubtful, and I, therefore, think that I shall best consult the wishet of the Proprietors, as well as my own feeling of what is fair and handsome to my opponent, who has so long solicited your suffrages, by giving to him the precedence on this occasion. I have the gratification of adding that I am sanctioned in the course I now propose to pursue by the advice of many of my most influential friends, and that the promises of increased support which I have received justify me in entertaining the most confident ex pectation of a successful appeal to your kindness on the next vacancy which may occur in the directieqt of your affairs. I remain, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your faithful and obedient servant, MARTIN T. SMITH. 4, Eaton -place, Belgra.ve-square, Jan. 18, 1838.

A new farce, callf‘d Oise Mary Anne, was produced last night at :his Theatre. Jonathan Tunics ekstone),the young ,teward to a Colonel Albert, who has been long absent from his estates, is about to mArry the village favourite, Our Mary Anne (Miss Poole). I❑ the midst of his happiness, he has one great anxiety, which he reluctantly communi cates to a brother rustic, Solomon (Mr. Compton), and it arise, from an apprehension of the Colone:'s return, inasmuch as he knows that Mary Antic ft:Al been a favourite protegee of a deceased uncle of the Colonel, who had directed his nephew to make her his wife at a proper age. Solomon sets him at ease, by the assurance that the Colonel will surely never come back. The marriage takes place, Lut at the moment home comes the Colonel, and determined to find an angel in Our Mary Anne, and espouse her. At the same time a lady of' ffshion, whom the Colonel had previously declined to see, lest he should be de, luded into love with a sophisticated daughter of the world, but v..ho, nevertheless, entertains a passion for him, comes also to the village, de termined, in masquerading the peasant girl, to try and vin the truant soldier. The result is, that she is taken by the Colonel for Mary Anne, and at once wins his heart and an offer of his hand. Meanwhile the Colonel hears that Mary Anne is married to his steward, and Jonathan Tunics, on the other hand, learns that the Colonel has been taking liber ties with the same heroine. Their mutual rage, but especially Tunks'de. spair, forms the subject-matter of the laughable in the piece. Buckstone, in both his first exultations, in his apprehensions, and his despair, was excessively amusing. The piece is neatly mitten, and passed off very successfully. ALARM OF FIR!? AT DRURY-LANE TnEATite.„--Last evening, about seven o'clock, the inhabitants of the streets In the vicinity of the above theatre were thrown into a state of alarm by the report of a fire hayluit broken out in some part or the interior, which had exhibited itself exter nally by the eruption of a body of flame from the roof, Two engines were presently upon the spot, but fortunately s,li appearance of danger was at an end previously to their arrival, The file had, it seems, arisen f. oin the circumstance of the wont whose business it to attend to the gas pipes having acctdgntatly omitted to replace a 1.1. g in the main.pipe over the sgkiGii, atter having put some shas . .pigs beneath it floe the pur. KisO of thawing the condensed gas wh'tch had become f:Oten, Owing to this omission the gas then paVing through in vapour became ignited, and burst forth in the manner described, The audience were not aware of an:ything having occurred, end consequently no accident from wi over anxiety to escape, whlolt might otherwise have Ibllowed, was experienced, OL YMPW, The management of this theatre, with a spirit commensurate with the very liberal share of public patronage which it receives, evinces a laudable activity and enterprise ir► the production of novelty. The new piece of Monday was last night succeeded by another —a mu sical burletta, called The Black Domino. The piece front the " giving out" was confessedly less perfect than it will hereafter become. The music selected from Auber's opera 9f Le Domino Noir, though very pleasing, had none of those striking contrasts which so peculiarly cha racterise the productions of this composer. Madams Vestris sang them with sweetness and expression, and in her second song, " I rove at will," was encored. There was also a chorus or two, and the finale, which struck us as agreeable, though not received with that enthu siastic applause with which pieces at ibis theatre are usually greeted, met with no dissent, and upon an amended repetition, may became as popular as any of its predecessors, DEATH BY FirtE.—An adjourned inquest was held yesterday evening in the Poard-room of Guy's Hospital, before Mr. Payne and a respectable Jury, on the body of Elizabeth Janes, aged 35. Mrs. Homes, of 43, Belvidere-place, Southwark, stated that the deceased and an elderly man (with whom she cohabited) occupied a room in her house. On Friday week last deceased returned home about half past 7 in a state of intoxication, but having her sister with her, witness did nut object to their having a light; the sister, however, must have soon left, and the candle setting fire to her clothes, she was instantly enveloped in flames. Verdict, " Accidental Death."—Two other inquests were held by the sam: , Coroner and Jury, at the same place, on the bodies of two children, one aged 4, and the other 8 years, who were burnt to death by their clothes taking fire during the tempo rary absence of their parents. Verdict, " Accidental Death."

Forming a Companion to the " Confessions of an Elderly Gentleman." London : Longman, Orme, and Co. FURTHER PARTICULARS, The number of persons killed and wounded, as well a; of the firemen who fell victims to their zeal on this occasion, has no' yet been car. rcctly ascertained. Five firemen were crushed by the fall of a frog. ment of a wall, and several others severely wounded. An officer having stated in the morning that four of his men, including a sergeant, wrre missing, a young conscript offered to seek them in the midst of the ruins: At his desire he was entrusted with the perilous mission, but at the expiration of a few minutes quitted the burning mass without hay. ing male any discovery. The unfortunate sergeant is said to have loft a widow and seven children. A fireman descended from the top of lila theatre clinging to a rope, and holding between his lege an old man whose weakne,s had prevented him from attempting to escape. Another discovered in the garret of the building an infant in its cradle, and Orb scended in safety with the child, greeted by the enthuSialltia attelartlk tions of the crowd. The Commerce contains an account of the fire front an eye wittwei 4 who appears to have been one of the persons actively engaged In ejt a tinguishing it. His statement, which accords in the main with thflit a'ready in possession of our readers, contains several details Ss tis;thil time in which the several stories of the edifice fed in ont tier thf ether. The firenem established themselves as well as they Could at the openings of the windows on each of the staircases leading to different pelts of the Luialing, from whenei : they retreated only wh " t ! position was no loner tenable.

He reached a window looking into the Rue If avart, about two feet above the awning not long ego raised, to ',,rotret persons corning to or goi ng f rom the doors of ; he theatr e. tin that side from the rain. He was recognized by some of the P".ople outside, who, believing he was intending to throw himself out, collected together a number of mattrasses for him to fall upon ; but his trepidation was so great that lie did not measure the distance, and came down upon the stone pasta. He was taken up senseless and carried to the Hotel des Italions, but died on the way. It is said that at the mo ment he was taking the spring he was called to from the interior to re main, as relief had arrived, but it was too late. M. Severini is to be buried to-morrow, Scarcel , .; had M. Severini met his fate than Col. Paulin made his way tlirr.':ugh the smoke and flames to the chamber he had left, the disorder of which too plainly showed the extreme terror its occupant had under. gone. The drawers were all open, the contents dispersed about the floor, a small pocket book which had been emptied was on a chair, and his gold watch on the bedside table. The escape of M. Robert, the brother of the director, was most extraordinary. He was in bed in his chamber on the second floor, when the flames burst in. He imme. diately wrapped hirnse.f in his dressing gown, gathered up the sheets and coverlid ofhis bed, and got on the roof by one of the sky-lights. Hence, being hard pressed by the fire, he slid down to the parapet, and tying the sheets and counterpane together, arid fixing one end firmly at the top, he got by these means within sixty feet of the ground, where he re mained suspended for some time, till at length he by an effort which un der other circumstarices he never could have made, gained the balcony, from which he reached the ground in safety by a knotted rope which one of the. firemen threw up to him, - The lasses sustained by several individuals are irreparable. Rossini had an apartment in the theatre, and the whole of his musical library, which is said to be valued at upwards of 200,000 e, is entirely destroyed, besides many rare and valuable manuscripts. The library of M. Kale. proth, the musical repertory of the director, and his furniture, have been saved. We are enabledto contradict the report that all the scores belonging to the theatre are teat. A great quantity of old music has been thrown into the street half.burnt, but we arc assured that the scores of the new pieces are all safe, having been placed in a part of the building which the flames did not reach. It is apprehended that M. Lablache has sustained an iimnense and irreparable loss by the death of M. S^verini, who acted as his agent In the investment of his savings, and in whose hands were all the doeu_ ments by which was secured the accumulated property clerked from twenty years' arduous ext rtions in his profs ion. If this be so, M. La. blache and his numerous family will be totally ruined. The building of the Italian Opera House was com..menced in 1781, and finished in 1783, on the site of the ancient I '.otel of the Duke de Choiseul. It was called the Theatre Favart. The company of that day, fearing they might he confounded witn the strollers of the Boole. yards, insisted upon there being no frorltage that way, and the architect was obliged to erect it as it now is. In 1784 some improvements were made by the architect M. \Vailly, Comic operas were performed in it till ITO, when these representations were transferred to the Theatre I Feydeau, and the Theatre Favart remained useless, till the Odeon was burnt down. During the rebuilding of this last house, the Odeon corn. pany performed at the Theatre Favart, which was again abandoned when their own stage was ready to receive them. At the Restoration the Theatre Favart was appropriated to the Italian Opera, and has so re. mained till its present destruction. The NaMnial makes the following reflections on the three great fires which have takes place within so short a space of time, in the three great capitals, St. Petersburgh, London, and Paris :—" It seems that each country has been affected in its peculiar characteristic. May not the Imperial Palace, the Exchange, and the Opera House be considered as the emblems of the Absolutism of Russia, the Mercantilism of Eng. land, mill the love of arts in France, which is daily increasing?" Therae continued smouldering all last night, and cannot be said to 'oe totally extinguished at the moment of our going to press, A FRENCH INN.--After dinner (at Calais) we set off, intending to go to Montreuil, sixty miles from Calais. They told us we travelled en poste, but I am sure we did not get on more than four miles an hour. At Marques we were shown into an inn, they called--I should have called it a pig sty. We were rut into a room with two straw beds, and with great difficulty they mustered up clean sheets, and gave us two pigeons for supper upon a dirty cloth, and laid wooden-handled knives. 0, what a transition from happy England I But we laughed at the repast, and went to bed with a determination that nothing should ruffle our tempers.—Naval Keepsake for 1838, containing a new Life of Nelson, by the Old Sailor. DUBLIN, JAN. 16.—MEETING AT THE CORN EXCHANGE.-Then is to-day a meeting of the constituents of Dublin. A petition on the subject of Poor-laws has been read, and its further consideration postponed to this day week. Mr. O'Connell moved the adoption of a petition praying for the total abolition of tithes, and entered into a detail of the origin and working of the tithe system, from the period of its introduction, in the reign of Henry IL, to the present time. An unusual press of matter to-day precludes the practicability of our giving the report of the proceedings which we have received this morning from our own correspondent. This pressure on our space compels us also to postpone some other reports relating to the affairs of Ireland. —At the annual meet ing of the Mendicity Association, his Grace the Archbishop of Dublin objected to a compulsory provision for the Irish poor, on the same grounds as Mr. O'Connell ; namely, that its inevitable tendency is to increase the amount of pauperism. The difficulty, however, observes the Freeman, of procuring funds to satisfy the current expenses of the institution goes far to prove that the voluntary system is totally inadequate to meet the wants, or affard anything like effectual relief to the desti tute poor of Dublin. GENERAL POST -OFFICE.—An accumulation of ice having made the passage of the Elbe impracticabte for steam-vessels, the mails of Tuesday night for the north of Europe were despatched by special messengers, via Holland. Sir Robert Keith Arbuthnot, Hart., has been ap pointed, by the Right lion. the Governor of Bombay, magis trate and joint collector at Nassuck, East Indies. Sr. JAMES'S THEATRE.—Last right a new mu sical piece, entitled The iltusiei,n of Venire, was produced at this theatre. It is not without merit, though, as the music is attributed to M. Nati, a composer who has arrived at some eminence in his profession, we expected, perhaps, something superior ; the music contains some redeeming qualities, but is deficient in any air which is calculated to enhP.nce the reput tion of M. Nati, as an original composer, or leave an im pression on the minds of the auditors. The drama possesses little oc no novelty, th oug h apparently an adaptation from a French talc. The acting and singing was altogether excel lent, and the piece was given out for repetition amidst a dis cordant x&ngling of ayes and noes, but the former decidedly wedominated. Major-General Sir James Maedonnell, Equerry to her Majesty the Queen Dowager Adelaide, has been offered the command of one of the divisions of the army to be sent to the Canadas, and, it is understood, has accepted it. The Right Hon. General at prcs.mt coannands one of the dis tricts in Ireland. THE BA Ly,-,T.-A rcTlisition is in the course of signature fe,,r a mee.ing, to petition the Legislature for an Ex tension of the Salfrage and Vote by Ballot, at Wakefield.— DOneasier Gazelle. Countless flocks of birds, having the appearance of fieldfares in the distance, passed over the north-eastern parts of the metropolis. in a southerly direction, at the latter part of last week. So numerous were these winged fugitives from the bleak north that they darkened the air like a cloud, and their transit occupied several minutes. The weatherwise consider the circumstance a sure prognostic of a long and severe winter. FIRE AT MR. WARD'S, P.--A file broke out at twelve o'clock on Saturday night, at Gilston Park, the residence of 11. G. Ward, Esq., M. P., which threatened the destruction of one of the oldest and moat beautiful places in the county of Hertford. By dint of the most energetic exer tions on the part of the family, who were left to make head against the flames for nearly an hour before more assistance could be procured, the fire was kept under until help arrived in abundance from various quarters, and consequently not much damage was done, the fire having been confined to two rooms in which it originated. We regret to add that Mr. Ward was much ir.jurcd by a fail, having again dislocated his shoulder and cut his arm severely. EXTRAORDINARY FREAK OF NATURE.—A fine grown dog was exhibited at the White Hor.te Cellar, New bury, on Thursday last, covered with a most extraordinary growth of wool, which resembles the fleece of a sheep, is of four years' growth, and lays on the dog in flakes of great weight ; the proprietor has bet n offered a considerable sum for the animal, which he refus's to take. —Reading Mercury. TUE WEATIIER.—Winter has now fairly set in. The weather has been hitherto remarkably mild for the sea son; but yesterday we were visited by a sharp frost, and to-day it is snowing heavily.—Scotsman of Wednesday. CORONER'S INQUEST —An inquest was held on Saturday last, at Enfield, on the body of John Nicolas, coach man in the employ of floatwhite, Esq. The unfortu nato man, at about seven o'clock the previous evening, loaded his gun, and went into a field at the back cf his master's house fur the purpose of shooting t hare, several having been seen there ; he, however, hags not gone far when he saw what he supposed to be one sitting justbAire him, and taking hold of the barrel of the gun struck at it, which, instead of being a hare, was a log of wood; the.gun from the force of the blow went off, the cont en t s enter i ng t h e poor f e ll ow ' s right side .
